November 1st, 2008 by PeterGeisheker | No Comments | Filed in Parenting

Play and toys are a very important part of the development of your child. There are some things that parents can do to make sure that their child is getting the best possible use of their playtime to help them develop the skills that they will need in their later years.

The toys that parents choose for their child should be age appropriate. This is perhaps one of the most important factors to look for when you are shopping for toys. If you buy toys that are too young for your child, they will not learn anything from the toys that you are providing. Likewise, toys that are too far beyond your child can result in frustration on the part of your child and they will not play with them.

Where Have All the Bicycles Gone?

October 1st, 2008 by KalmanHeller | No Comments | Filed in Parenting

Childhood has moved indoors. What a shame. Children are meant to be running free in open spaces, climbing trees, finding frogs and turtles, biking to the playground, and being hard to find at dinnertime. Today’s child is most likely to be found sitting in front of a screen – TV, video games, computers. 8-10 year olds reportedly spend an average of 6 hours a day staring at a screen. Given an additional 6 hours spent in school plus eating, sleeping, homework and we have taken our children’s worlds and turned them into tiny, structured spaces with little physical activity and almost no free play time. Organized sports have become the play of many children but actually only about a quarter of all children are playing an organized sport during any season of the year. So the vast majority are just sitting around, growing obese at an alarming rate and missing out on important socializing.

I used to have a student who wrote down a lot of information as soon as he got a test. At first, I thought that was a great idea. Until I saw his grades. It was obvious that writing down notes on his test were not helping him.

Another student used to take a deep breath at the beginning of a test, and then race through the test with her feet and legs shaking like leafs on a tree.

Her grades were not so hot either.
